I haven't seen your two and a half weeks. Where have you been? You know where the fun was? How's gonna? I thought you didn't know what it was? Well, I remember now I saw a post. I remember when you was about to go to Ghana. You called me and go, hey, something happened to my plate. I can't get in because

I needed COVID test. I was like, yeah, yeah, it was a pen in the ask. Well, going to Ghana is very strict. Ghana requires COVID test three days prior to your trip and then when you land in Ghana, they give you a test at the airport if you don't. If you failed the test, they were taking it back and behead you sold. You Guys with COVID and Ghana are dead keeping gonna COVID free. Well, we're glad you didn't have any COVID when you're no, I didn't, but

I funked up. Think about it. It's like I booked a flight on Delta, all right. I was flying from DC to New York and the New York straight to our crab. So you know I took a rapid COVID test, you know, because they require you to have a ticket text three days prior. But if you don't take a rapid test, if you take the PCR, which is the one that senter the lab, they want that one instead of the rapid right. But the thing about it is

those tests takes two to three business days. So if you're flying, like if let's say, if I'm flying on a Monday, which I was flying on a Monday, right, If I'm flying on a Monday, when the funking I take this test and it's still be went in there two to three days of receiving the results. PCR takes two to three business days. So if I took the tests on like a Friday, it's gonna be tough. I might not get it back to Monday or Tuesday. If I'm traveling on a Monday. That's tough and then expired.

Then then if we expire, if you take it. So I said, fucking let me to take my chance with a rapid test. I took the rapid test and I got to the apple. She was like, there's a rapid test as a motherfucker is a test and I got corona. Motherfucker let me this plane. She says, not the right test. They would not let me. But you're thet You should be able to get in everywhere. Well, fucking doctor don't know that. Okay, don't give a funk boy who I am. They just make sure that I had to take a

piec of your test. So I got pissed. I said, funk all that you won't let me on this plane. Give me back my money. Yeah, business class tickets, Yes, tickets like almost seven thousand dollars. Keep me my money back and I have no darn received. Keeps my eyes so wet. Let me see a pink manager. That's exactly what I said. What's your monager to pink? Motherfucker?

I saw old pictures that you use a gangst them and how to graduate. He was like a Chinese gangster. That's I've seen pictures that you like. He was a bad guy. So I failed one class one time, and luckily it was a Chinese lady. And I said, you know, my dad is gonna be disappointed at me. He really thinks I was gonna graduate.

He gave me a new car. Is there anything I can do to pass this class? She goes talk to me after the class. So I had to clean up all the posters to eat or nothing. I was that being crazy?

Actually, yeah this, I got the shoes. I got that little crazy shirt. That's what the guy Tiger King wears. The guy that almost got the pardon from Donald Trump. Almost, he almost got a part of his whole crew was waiting for him outside the barking lot. It was like an eighteen wheel stretched limousine.

They got a barber in there, got a shower. They thought he was gonna get pardoned. And guess what, he didn't get a pardon. So he's back in the five years and years, twenty five years in jail. Yeah, there's no way, I mean twenty five years. That's a very long time. Yeah, that's a quarter of a century. But you know he might like it because you know, so when he get out, we're gonna be a like COVID. Yeah, it was very disappointed that Donald Trump didn't sign him,

saying God caught up block but not him. Well, Donald just trying to you know, he was trying to give back reparations. He's happening out just the black people. Oh, that's great that he happened out of his his homies, all his homies, like other friends got out to Yeah, but there's a problem. They're investigating every single one that he helped. Let him be free, Donald go away, and let him move on with our lives and yes, let him go man. Yeah, they're trying to impeach him, but

he's already impeached. Who they're gonna impeach Now he's fucking here, he's done, he's over with. Yeah, they're trying to impeach, what's the point? Yeah, just let him no need. I still think Donald Trump is in the White House. I hide it. Yeah, I know in the inauguration he got on the plane and when the Florida that was his clone. Because that guy that got on the plane had a decent haircut. Donald Trump is hiding and like in one of the bathrooms and the overpits. I think he's hiding there.

He ain't never gonna leave, man, he want his security posits back. That's a twelve ars gift to all them black people. How to fund to take that money and vote for Trump? Yeah, a ship motherfucker's. Yeah, it's unfortunate that. Uh yeah, he's not gonna leave. He's still there. He's an opal off. It's just staring at biting all day. I didn't see his son though. Where was this? Is he? Like? I'm some kind of like his funny looking son. J Yeah? Is it? Is it Junior? And the little one right there? Yeah,

the little one that talks like him. His dad is like his late thousands, yeah, and his son is thirteen. Like who who's busting nuts in his sixties? You know what, Mike, You're not gonna believe it, But you could have a baby until you're like eighty or something. Yeah, but then my son gonna call me grandson when he comes out of one. I probably died in so then we you know about I'm not having a son at eighty, Okay, I'm not my son. I can't. If I can't play

ball with your son, don't fucking have him. Hey, Mike, you know what if you could a fucking eight, you can still have a baby. Well, when my dick stopped working, then I think I'm ready to go. Yeah. Well this this guy ninety years old still fucking talk my fucking um what he has not our next? Oh yeah, you're gonna, let's stop gonna. You told me you you were building a beautiful school and gonna for the let's fortunate kids.

How's that going now that he's going? Good? You know it's I told a guy, the main guy, that is main contract that I said, listen, man, by this year, I want these kids in school. School star September. I'll give him to June or have the school completely ready. That's about I give. He got six months six months and he mined you he started three months ago when I was there. Really what what? What's the progress was there?

Roof there? Uh? So we build the school along with a house like a missionary house where if I invite. My plan is to like during the summertime, get some teachers that are not working in America to just volunteer the time to come to Ghana, uh. And we have like a summer school where you know, they could teach your kids things that they don't know about, you know, other things, so let them know more about the word

and everything else. So I'm building like a missionary house next to the along with the school full time somebody lived there and stuff like that for them to live in the volunteers sake of them something like that. So building a house. So it's all like a cop it's a combination of the house and the school together. So the house part has the roof and everything the school part but everything should definitely be ready by school time.

That's the plan. That's very nice to you, Mike, to be helping your the place you grew up in, gonna the ratio to become the funniest there. But you know that's where my blood is. When I was a kid. When I went back, I see the kids doing the same thing, very unfortunate kids and I and I think it all starts with education. Man. You educate the kids that would learn how to become better, become better persons, no about everything, and how to protect themselves and how

to just making a life. Education as a kid, it's a fishing mother suck my Patreon pages now live my weekly Titty Tuesday and Talking Thursdays a movie exclusively the Patreon where they could no longer be sensor about the social media companies. I would also be sharing Dalli updates plus show announcements here first see you on Patreon. Your mother sockers. I hate to see a grown man out. They're begging for money. Funk that you got lay you grown You should be doing something, you said. I want

to start helping out the kids family. That way, they don't have to be you know, they could have have a better future. And you're gonna have a comedy school like a class that would be later now you know, I want to open up a comedy academy that would be more in the city. My school has been built in the village. Yea, you never know. Mike is good in the village. I'm not building a comedy school in the village. Well, now your school's almost don't What are

you gonna call the school? You still don't have a name. Yeah, something with my name involved with my name? You Modelsucker school for kids? No Michael blacks and elementary elementary again high school? Yeah, tra Tragon Elementary. Next thing you know, Mike, you're building schools for how old are these kids? Boy? This is more like kindergarten to like middle school type of thing. I'm not I'm not ready for high school. I don't know, Mike. The you have a very good heart.

Next thing. You know, you're gonna have college classes there next year. No, I hope we'll see what happens. I mean education. I'm just starting with the you know, the the smart stuff and the little ones and work our way up. Yeah, that's great, that's good heart for you, and give a clap for you, and then maybe start, you know, like I said, after I'm done with those, I want to open up an academy for comedy and

pretty much just entertainment period. I like to see the thing about our continent of Africa so much talent, and sometimes they just know how to be discovered, you know. So maybe that will be the plan to try to discover them. Talking about talent, All right, let's bring our first guest to the show from Austin, Texas. Austin just something about Texas got all the finest women, I think on in Texas. She's a rapper, she's a model, she does it all, give it up a brand down from Austin, Texas. Wow,

I feel like it's titty Tuesday again. Yeah, you know you breath fee that whole village. You breath for your kids at the school, didn't building if they ever get hungry? Yeah, she could teach music in your school, Mike. We'll be half for the kids, will concentrate if they are hungry, luncheon, dinner, and and and then talent on the top. Right. Tell me about yourself. I am a rapper from Austin, Texas. I moved here three years ago, so I've been here

for three years. I've modeled, I've wraps. Now. I'm also doing classes at l A Film School for music production, so I can kind of be well rounded in the industry. That's really it. That's what's up, man. It's like the new era. Man. They just the wrappers are female wrappers are beautiful now. In fact, look up all the all the beautiful female rappers right now. What we have Google shops. They have a dog, Qutica Cardi b Missy Elliott the time,

about time, Time, about time? Huh from our era? Oh so yeah, like yeah, my my fullness, it's not from our era. Yeah, young ma, Yeah, god, I said, beautiful. Your mom is handsome man, beautiful rap rapping stallin, she's a rapper, Megan the Stallion. Definitely, she's beat. I mean, if you want to go back to our eerror, like my error was like little Kim, Yeah, little Kim girlfriend

ex girlfriend, little whether the Tupac did Little Kim. There was that song A little Bigger you have my girlfriend and your coach blah blah blow whatever that I think he was talking about, like faith or something, right, I think I definitely think that's Biggi's biggest but was missing with a Little Kim, not Tupac. But all the rappers did the same girls, don't they Well, I just like just share them, yeah, because that means it's a little community.

It's a rap community. Have you ever rapper? But I'm opt out of that. I'm opt out of that rapper. Which one was? It? Was it too short or too tall? Oh? Which rapper? Because the thing about it, like in my field, I wouldn't There was no comedian I want to funk. I don't want to funk differity headache. You know's what's her name? Jessie the Funny, Jesse the Funny, Jesus I want to comedian. We don't want to funk another female comedian.

What is that? That's conversations different for rappers, I guess you know, like Cardi b is married to upset. Oh yeah, it just works sometimes it's different. Dated that little short guy that shot him on the leg, shot her on the leg? What's his name? The one that didn't like dating? Whe they were dating? What's that guy that shot him? Tory Lanes? Yeah, matter of fact, that case got dismissed today because really they were looking at the ballistic Tory

Lanes was too short to be shooting down there. It's the facts. This wasn't that, This isn't what was an article? He Yeah, no, I mean I just made that short up. But oh good, don't talk. Definitely is about like four four or five. He's really short. Well that's very short. He's very short. So if you as a fucking rapper, like is it, do you have a fantasy like any rapper you like? No? Not really honestly, like you do. I mean, would you like them more like the rugged? No? No,

it would definitely wouldn't be a rugged one. But if I had to like throw a name out there would be on the French vibes like something like that. Not necessarily one of them French. I mean, that's the only French we got in the building. Oh it is French vibe would be on something like that. But there's nobody that in the industry that I would be like, oh, yeah, I'm going for I think definitely, definitely, not definitely not, but that's the vibe I would go on. Not these

new school artists. Now, that's not something I want. Man, it's like the new rapp female rappers now it's like you have to like, you know, you have to look like look look at the Medicellian is the hottest one right now? Beautiful, definitely nice body, beautiful. I'm into bodies, you know your Now, she's a rapper singer. She's she's interesting, Okay, I think she's like a rapper singer type of thing for those. And then of course, man rays amazing, very talented,

very talented about melody. It's NICKI just rapper two, right, Yeahlatta was like the newest, freshest, hottest thing. Is she a little batty? So yeah, I guess nowadays, man, you just have to be beautiful, you know, because I know back then, back in the nineties and early two thousand, a female rapper I don't think was really act she's pretty, didn't take a serious No, you gotta be hard, you gotta come hard, like ms mc light was hard, Yes, hard.

Now it's more about the image than anything. What MS Melody was hard to look at? Two MS Melody? Yeah, then we got like was hard. You know, she looked like she could knock a motherfucker out? Yeah? Yeah, So I mean, what what what does it take now to being a female rapper? Like how how you make it? How did mag make it? And how you plan on

making it? I feel like at this point, like you said, like, I feel like it's definitely the pretty, the beautiful that are definitely able to attract certain things like men are all about sexy pill and things like that. So in our day and age, Nicki Minaj is the one who popped off. She's beautiful, she's sexy, she brings something to the table, and I feel like in that aspect, women

are going to win off of that. Now if you're not so pretty, but you got like the sounds that they're looking for, I really don't know anybody, honestly, Mulatto making the stallion Cardi B. Those are my like funk with them. I like their music, I like their vibe. They're the reason why the doors open for other pretty women that have bars that can actually come in and show the industry something different versus just someone that's hard that is a female but looks like a male. We

have enough of those, Like who are those like? I mean, honestly, who did you just say? What's her name? Young Am? I m a and bomb as fun as far as like versus she's I'm telling young man, would comb my hair and just put some dress on? I sh out of her. Really, that's interesting. I'd love to see what that look like. But p young Amy, young man. It's like she's a young girl. Oh she young forever because

her name is young Amy. Yeahft No, she's like got to be my age, Like yeah, definitely, she's she's like hardcore hardcore like so, I mean, yeah, at the end of day, she has a couchie. So that's how she's a woman. To me, that's all that matters. She got that, she's a woman. She has titties. You know, I don't give a fun how much you said your pants you still got you still get a period. Motherfucker. You still

gotta put a goddamn shot a tamp on your head. Yes, and at the end of the day, your motherfucker, that thirty day mestre is on his way. Okay, I don't give a funk what. She's definitely a woman, Definitely thirty days a long day for a minstrel. Period every thirty days when period yea every every every every twenty days days. Yeah, about like every I just sold on the floor last month, So we wait on it and we're tiring it right now. Oh, she might be five days pregnant. Oh no, no, no, no, no,

it's quarantine, y'all. We're staying inside await from people. Yeah, but you don't bring dick in. No, it's quarantine. We're quarantining all of the energies and also COVID No corona, no dick, no nothing, We're quarantine. Yeah. They just in this average is that beautiful man? You know? So what else you got going on right now? Miss? Currently? Just I graduate my music production school in August and then I'm working on a Valentine's Day EP currently, so that's

in rush mode right now. But other than that, you know, just going with the vibes of this year? You got your music released this year? Um? Yeah, I released two singles last year. Yeah, some more music to come this year for sure? Can you work? I can throw as two? Can you? Can you give us something, whether it's like your favorite rhyme or like a freestyle? Can you do something like a favorite whatever your favorite songs or whatever you can you give us something? I want to hear.

I want to hear your music. My favorite with my song, Yeah, your favorite song? I was like, that's spacey. I mean, what are easier to talk about? Like when you where you rat? I'm definitely more on the like motivating women to get their own bag. Like in this uh l a era, it's all about what a dude has, and I'm more on like, can we get our own bag? Can we do our own thing? And that's kind of like what my music is geared towards versus talking about sucking a dude for the bag, like can we just

get our own stuff? And obviously sex, because you know everybody loves to talk about sex, so so the way women getting it own bag is sex. No, this is what we're this is what we're not doing this year. We're gonna like be in our own bag and not have to you know, funk with the rappers the other people that have the bag to get the bag. We're gonna go for the bag ourselves. That's my goal is

to influence women too. Yeah, fucking with the rappers cool, that's great, But like what do you bring to the table? What are we bringing to the table? How can woman go get that bag? I say, go to college, and like, yeah, I think it's really great because making the Stallion. I'm not sure what she went to college for, but when she first broke the industry, she was in college, and I think that's very much like something to applaud her

for because she stayed true to her path. She's an artist and she also is in college bringing whatever that is to the table. So we have to learn how to like bring the money in ourselves versus being messing with the top dog when you can beat the top dog. Yeah, we want. I want to hear something like what's your favorite thing we we have? You have any your favorite zone?

I have a song that I released called step on their Next Step that goddamn that uh didn't get it through the next boyfriend something or a neighbors I mean it basically was, you know, we came to step on bitch's neck, So that's kind of where it came from. Oh, that's it. Ex boyfriend, ex girlfriend. No, just women in general. Just sorry, you know, with the vibes. Yeah, we would love to hear it. Okay, I'll let you hear it. Then you bitches ain't working with me. Fuck up a check.

I come for your neck. Step on the sun and shad wet Yeah yeah, yeah, funck fun I need funds to fox some my wine. I throw it back hum on song, put it on him, go dumb.

You seeing me and notmally no time to be funny, didn't want me, you are no time from I'm talking. I get it back when I'm walking at l A. But I'm mousing, flexing,

I'm flowersing. Wow, that was Mike. That was pretty damn good. Sexy. Yeah, so much talent. More talent is in the room. Bring my next guest to the show. She's an entertainment news reporter. I actually met her in New York. In a couple of years at least, something like that should refresh in my mind. From New York and I lives in l A. She's doing it all, Marlin doing everything as well, my girl, Emerald, y'all give a big hand. Yes, you're doing it all.

What's going on, y'all? Man, what's gonna with you? Good? Thanks for having me. I finally moved to l A. Right there with that cold weather, that's people hanging. It's definitely staring at home. So I'm so, this is my first winter in l A. And I'm like, this is how y'all been living. And you always say when you came to New York, like, man, I like going to New York with the weather, I need to go back home. And I'm like, now I get it. Yes, New York,

it's good to visit. It's cold. Get the funk out, say I got you know, I was raising Philly, so I went. I mean I went to what used to the cold down? Yeah, But like my thing about now I want I remember why Will Smith and never come back? Kevin Hall, never come back? You know, it's nice weather, beautiful weather. We'll go back and visit but whether you're real hardly BACKDN, what's the next flight out of it? And now that I'm in l A, I'm like everything is shut down, Like we had the pandemic and at

the start it was really aggressive in New York. Everything was closed. But now I come to l A and I'm like, okay, I'm ready to things are going well in my career. I'm about to come out here and pop on Red Carpets. And then it was like, nope, Grammy's postponed, this is canceled, this is you know so, and it's so bad. Like I'm thinking, like when are we gonna have our life back? Like, I mean, the Red Carpet was your place. Yeah, you know, that's where you got the chance to shine. In fact, one of

the biggest story that happened involved you. How to do with Holly barn You want to tell us about that. This is the mother Stucker Podcast with Michael Blackson. Thank you for tuning in. Be sure to subscribe, rate, comment,

and ship wherever you listen to the podcasts. I was doing Red Carpets especial out of college, and I was just in New York grinding doing press junkets, movie reviews, and I started to notice a trend when I was on the Red Carpets that a lot of black outlets weren't really respected that we were placed at the end.

We weren't a lot of the appropriate time to do the interview, and so it was it got to a point where it was almost a joke amongst the black reporters that you know, we're on the back of the

bus line. So it's like all these big news reporters and then the artists celebrities get tired of it already and then they're like, we're ready to go or go somewhere else, right, Well, no, not like Red carpets, just like fifty reporters in the in the beginning, and then they put her in the end, so they get tired, right Yeah. So I mean that's part of the issue, is the placement of black outlets sometimes and oftentimes people kind of equate white outlets to mainstream and that's not

always the case. You have outlets like Hollywood a lot that have greater numbers than some white outlets, but they'll still be placed in the back. And so yeah, I basically was on the carpet and it was the movie John Wick three and Holly Berry was going down anything with every single reporter and not to her fault. I think publicists and pr agents that kind of guide you down the carpet, you know, like when you're in carpet,

your team is telling you where to stop. And so I just think that sometimes a black talent when you don't have a team around you that understands that you know, you need to speak to also your outlets that you care to to, you know, someone that looks like you. So anyway, they skipped myself, Lamar Dawson, who was with an outlet, and we're like, hey, we don't have time for you, guys, we have to go to the outlet next to you. And I'm five ten, I'm standing on

the carpet. I'm shouting past them even keeping you know, they're they're walking past me. But I'm like Holly, Holly, and I started asking her questions, and so I'm asking her questions about things in her career and she turns around and here's myself and Lamar, and she went to Lamar first and me hugged us, gave us interviews, and so it was special about the moment was just her not only stopping but turning around coming back, making a point to you know, stop for her culture, her people.

And so my videographer had captured the entire thing on camera. I was just so blessed that he kept the cameras rolling. So then when I went home that night, I made the video immediately right after. So I was really shaking up. I was really, you know, Holly Berry, no matter what level you are and entertainment, Hollyberry is Hollyberry's. Yeah, no matter who you are, Hollyberry issues has to be like

the most popular black actress of time. Yes, And so for me, again fresh out of school, navigating on red carpets, I was so blessed that, like, wow, she's she's seen me. She came back for me, you know. And so I made the video and I got kind of choked up. In the video. I was speaking about the experience that I've had over time, dealing with being a black woman in these white spaces and being the only one of

the token and being overlooked sometimes. Anyway, I ended up posting the video a week later, really scared to post it because you know, you don't want to be black ball, and I was. I was so new that I was like man, I don't want this to mess up my only chance I'm getting these carpets and getting this work.

So I literally prayed and posted that video and the next day I was going to work and the breakfast club was rumor report Steve Harvey mentioned on radio deal hoogally everyone and went everywhere, and then Hollyberry deemed me and I was just like her. Damn. Literally was said like wow, like look what we started, Like, look like what a moment, you know. And so that was just the start of crazy journey and something that was negative

turned very positive and it was a dope. You gotta express your feeling, man, And then think about this industry is like sometimes you're scared because you know you don't be a black boy, but you just you got Sometimes you speak your mind and it all worked out for you. You know that'd be afraid to talk, you know, like, well we'll talk about your problem. Sometimes people don't. People don't talk about problems. You always talk about it because

you never know. And I think now more than ever, this isn't a system of people being like the gatekeepers. I think people are feeling more emboldened because things like social media right have made even with modeling. We were speaking earlier about like curve models, where agencies were so needed back in the day. Now you're happy on Instagram and signing a deal with the brand directly, and the middleman isn't as necessary. So the gatekeeper thing is kind

of going away. And so now you can talk to ship, you can you can speak. And that's what I did. I talk to my Instagram and other things came after that. So you know, I just think that situation. I hope others feel emboldened to speak, you know, their truth speak. Don't be afraid. Somebody had to touch your balls, fellas talk about at it touch my balls. I don't getting cruise cruise right. You were a guest over your right, you're a ballet guy like. But now I was guessing

it was a sitcom. The ice cuper duced called we did he yet? Yeah? I did like three or four episodes. Yeah, Terku is a great guy. Man. You know, hey, somebody touches the balls. He talked about it, man, I don't know. He was kind of whiling. He wasn't defending my girl Gabriel Union when she was what happened, but she was speaking up on American's got talent about how they were cheating her, and he said, I don't see nothing, I don't hear nothing. Yeah, he was really controversial last year

just about certain things. I mean, he doesn't take away from his great work. But yeah, if any director touched my boys, I'm telling everybody, right, Steven, Steven Spielberg touched my balls and my nipples. I'm crying me too, and me three Mike, who who who's the director? All my audience pretty teachers. I want to high school and none of them. Then I want to touch me. I want

to be touched so bad by my teacher. I'm back the teachers your famous fun Now you're the freaking ging I'm coming in yet, and think if you go back to school, all your teacher is gonna want to touch you. Michael, have you had any instantans in the industry that like I was the thing? You know? I built my own audience. I built my audience just you know, I was funny. If you if whatever you do, if you're good at it,

they would come. I built my audience a right, so I don't need it as long as my olderence Fox with me, the other one that paid money to commence me my show industry or over the gatekeeper school. Never take that away, you know what I'm saying. So I make money and we have so many outlets now if you want to do a movie, it's not like back in the day where you have to wait for a director. You could shoot your own movie. If you want to

sell it, you got. I got five million father was to sell it to so you know, I was never afraid. I never try to hold my tongue. I never try to kiss. I never kiss. Asked everything I got, I worked hard on my own and build it. I never was managed. I was never nothing, you know what I mean.

I did it all myself. So but the later part of your career probably you probably you definitely benefit off social media because if you think about Dave Chappelle and what he went through these contracts with you know, Comedy Central and Netflix and all those things he spoke about, you're kind of blessed to be at the other end of it where now you have that direct access to

your audience. Definitely because he was. But I mean, look what happened when Netflix he had to literally tell all of us, do not watch my special until they pay me. Imagine that you did what he that amazing series. It's just Chappelle show, you know what I mean. So you're definitely benefiting off of you know, direct man. Yeah, that's why. You know, if you're coming out as an artist or whatever, you do, build that audience, Get on social media, build

your audience, you know, get that fan. But even if it that with ten thousand and twenty thousands or a hundred thousand, build them, you know, and keep entertaining them. That when they would stick around and you always have them, you have to worry about no gatekeeper. No, no, your your own pink me too. No, you don't rely on nobody, you know, don't look you know, do your own things. So, yeah,

she set the ball was a great rap song. Actually kill We're gonna slots and entertainment more come, more to come. Same thing as an artist, though, like you you know your fan base, you can you can speak directly to them. And I'm actually seeing TikTok is literally the way to get to the the different bags because TikTok is like so much easier to break through than Instagram right now, especially for artists. There's been a lot of artists during quarantine that have blown off off of a song that

you wouldn't even think would do numbers. Challenge that, yeah, that that do numbers. So like look at the bust of challenge Like that helped her challenge because I've seen a video where she records, she performed that song. Yes, cared that. So Erica Banks was the rapper for the bus of challenging. I've seen a video where she was performing in the club and nobody was boxing by nobody

was boxing with no one but that challenge. You know, our generation are a set of followers and yes, you know, so people heard that song and loved it and then you know, now she's sky rocking on the charts and began staying. Is one that understands that these challenges will get you on the chart, the streams or where you're getting money. Now it's matters. But she had with the biggest challenge with that savage savage can you do that?

Was that I'm a savage? Yeah, yeah, you had the challenge you did it before, challenge you did on TikTok. Michael's like eight hundred million views. I'm a savage, Ratchet Rodget you would like eight girls, three girls? Oh yeah, that's what stuck, right, Ratchet ye, Mike's trending on TikTok. Last time we have Michael is always sending twenty four million views. Rather, then we'll post a video view in one of our everything I tell you the truth, make

gonna pull it right now. You don't believe me? The twenty four million views of what you and one of our guests there at no filter with Michael Blacks and Joe. That's twenty four million views. Yeah, you don't believe me, You fucking four dollars. It's twenty four million, twenty four dollars. You don't. You don't believe it would be the highest ant of views I've seen. You haven't seen that. I don't think I have no one right now if I could find it, So what's next? I mean, no red

carpets right now? Hopefully, I don't know. I guess it was still because there's no premiers right So um, I mean for me, obviously you spoke earlier about being this is a generation of being multifaceted. So I do do other things. So as an entrepreneur, I I have my clothing boutique shop, Emerald Mariy, So just continue to build up my name and in my style. This bomber is actually from shop Emmory, so check check me out. It's just from your boutique, or you actually made this, No,

it's from my boutique. So I'm similar to a lot of other boutiques right now being in l A, being in the fashion district, we can go down, go to vendors and pick up pieces and and sell them, you know, give your own your own twist. I don't make anything from scratch and so yeah, I've been doing that. I've had my skin care line for two years, so those have been my businesses online. Your skin is very beautiful,

thank you. What beauty shot? Rob Beauty is my line, so I have, Yeah, I have face grubs, rose water face masks. But as far as the entertainment factor of my career, I have taken a kind of a little step back with the interviews and I've been focusing on more trying to make the transition to actually do talent.

So how you know, I already already told you in the past, like La La Anthony and Terence Jay have always been my two role models because there are two entertainment news reporters that made that transition into acting commercial and print. So now that I'm in l a, you know, curve modeling, commercial work. I love being in from the camera and different facets. So that's kind of been my you know, new focus. And of course when carpets open back up, can't wait to be back on those and

doing digital digital things. So your friend is very intelligent, Mike, I'm really dumb one in this group. Thank you. Yeah, I know it's dum but modern addition, Mike, I lost twenty four dollars because you know why. It's not twenty four million, it's twenty three point six million views. Let me see, that's three point six million views. Okay, you

have more views than that of that video. You have more views than the Cranberry guy I think on his page anyways, Right, Cranberry guy didn't have twenty yeah, not not on his page. Listen, talk about social media changing lots. His life got changed for six million videos. I didn't know. But he got a new car. The only thing my gud was like, nothing, Yeah, we gotta get your sponsor. Mind, get me one got it on the list so much talented, Well, ladies,
